How do you like them pumpkins?

Team building is back in full force for our front office staff and after our golf outing and trip to the movies to see “Moneyball,” our next activity was carving pumpkins!

Some had a small pumpkin, some had a large pumpkin, some carved faces and some carved their favorite sports team or animal and some didn’t carve at all.

Here are the finished products. We think the pumpkin on the far right got sick. Which one is your favorite? (Not many of us have good pumpkin carving skills).
